On Thursday, August 7th WDP member Juan Becerra spoke to KXAN about the Austin proposal for municipal IDs. As he explained, “The problem is that people feel very insecure to go to the police, or go to the school, or go to the bank. So it’s about security.” The new cards will address his concerns by making Austin accessible to all residents, regardless of documentation status, gender identity, or age.
